Read in SF trees data

sf_trees <- read_csv(here("data", "sf_trees", "sf_trees.csv"))
## Parsed with column specification:
## cols(
##   tree_id = col_double(),
##   legal_status = col_character(),
##   species = col_character(),
##   address = col_character(),
##   site_order = col_double(),
##   site_info = col_character(),
##   caretaker = col_character(),
##   date = col_date(format = ""),
##   dbh = col_double(),
##   plot_size = col_character(),
##   latitude = col_double(),
##   longitude = col_double()
## )

Basic wrangling reminders

Refresh some skills for data wrangling and summary statistics using functions in the ‘dplyr’ package. Find the top five highest observations of trees by legal_status, do some wrangling, make a graph.

top_5_status <- sf_trees %>% 
  count(legal_status) %>%  # recognize groups, finding counts, in a table
  drop_na(legal_status) %>%  # to remove missing values labeled NA
  rename(tree_count = n) %>% # new name goes on the left, old name on the right
  relocate(tree_count) %>%  # moves tree_count to first column position
  slice_max(tree_count, n = 5) # indicate in which colunn to look and the number you want to present, there is also slice_min available

A few more data wrangling refresher examples

Only keep observations (rows) for Blackwood Acacia Trees

blackwood_acacia <- sf_trees %>% 
  filter(str_detect(species, "Blackwood Acacia")) %>% # looks within a variable (sf_trees data) that we specify to identify if there are any strings there, does not need to be a complete match, just part of the string
  select(legal_status, date, latitude, longitude) # pick columns that you want to pick or exclude

ggplot(data = blackwood_acacia, aes(x = longitude, y = latitude)) +
  geom_point()
## Warning: Removed 27 rows containing missing values (geom_point).

tidyr::separate() and unite() functions

Useful for combining and separating columns

sf_trees_sep <- sf_trees %>% 
  separate(species, into =
c("spp_scientific", "spp_common"), sep = "::") # separate one column into two columns using data within that column, create a vector c with two new columns, then name the separator (::)

Exampe: tidyr::unite()

sf_trees_unite <- sf_trees %>% 
  unite("id_status", tree_id:legal_status, sep = "_cool!_") # combine two columns into one and add a separator ("_cool!_"), could use a vector or use a colon, which indicates "from this column to that column"

Make some actual maps of blackwood acacia trees in SF

‘st_as_sf()’ to convert latitude and longitude to spatial coordinates

blackwood_acacia_spatial <- blackwood_acacia %>% 
  drop_na(longitude, latitude) %>% 
  st_as_sf(coords = c("longitude", "latitude")) # converts longitude and latitude to spatial data, use longitude first, then latitude second

st_crs(blackwood_acacia_spatial) = 4326 # 4-digit code from European Petroleum Survey Group for what the coordinate reference system is.

ggplot(data = blackwood_acacia_spatial) +
  geom_sf(color = "darkgreen") + 
  labs(x = "Latitude",
       y = "Longitude")

Read in SF roads shapefile

sf_map <- read_sf(here("data", "sf_map", "tl_2017_06075_roads.shp"))

Run in Console: # “st_transform(sf_map)” to look for existing projection information There is an existing CSR for the roads shapefile so we need to use st_transform.

st_transform(sf_map, 4326)

ggplot(data = sf_map) +
  geom_sf()

Combine blackwood acacia tree observations and SF roads map

ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = sf_map, size = 0.1, color = "darkgray") +
  geom_sf(data = blackwood_acacia_spatial, color = "red", size = 0.5) +
  theme_void()

maybe install leaflet

Now an interactive map:

tmap_mode("view") # default is "plot" which is static, "view" is interactive
## tmap mode set to interactive viewing
tm_shape(blackwood_acacia_spatial) +
  tm_dots()
